I am amazed checks is still being in use. They are virtually gone here 
since many, many years. I have never had a check-book and don't see why 
I ever would need one.

I receive checks from the US for smaller sums. Usually not worth the 
effort to get the money.

The one check I will *NEVER* cash in is the one from Don Knuth, for 2.56 
USD. I have the frame, I just forgot to frame it.

Cheers,
Magnus
